Final event

On the 8th of August, 2014 a welcome ceremony to meet the sail training ship «Mir» will take place on the Lieutenant Schmidt Embankment in Saint Petersburg. Representatives of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation, of the Federal Maritime and River Transport Agency, leaders of Saint Petersburg and representatives of Russian maritime transport companies are planning to take part in this event. A solemn prayer to the glory of Russian fleet and its patron saints will be held on the pier. The Icon of Saint Vladimir, which along with the sailing ship made an unprecedented sacred and patriotic voyage, will be delivered to the pier at the moored «Mir». Then, this Icon with attendants on the motor ship «Meteor» will make the last honorary leg of the voyage along the Neva – from the Lieutenant Schmidt Embankment to the Summer Garden. The final event of the voyage will be a solemn sacred procession and hoisting of the Icon of Saint Vladimir on the altar of the St. Panteleimon’s Church. The sail training ship "Mir" is completing her sacred and patriotic voyage named "To the Glory of the Russian Fleet" of spring/summer 2014. The sacred and patriotic voyage of the sailing ship "Mir" is included in the official state program on preparation and celebration of the 300th anniversary of the Battle of Hanko Peninsula, under the orders of Peter the Great, with the Swedish fleet at Hanko Peninsula in 1714. It was the first naval victory in the history of the Russian fleet. The program is supported by the Russian Orthodox Church. The Icon of Saint Vladimir was painted as part of the project for the Church of St. Panteleimon in Saint Petersburg upon the initiative of the rector of the Admiral Makarov University, Professor Sergey Baryshnikov. The Church was founded by order of Peter the Great in honor of the end of the Northern War and the victory over the Swedish fleet, the dates of which fell on the Day of St. Panteleimon.
